PER-4527

Fix PPA logging through PKCS#11 

Fixed a use case when PPA logging through PKCS#11 was causing program hang after card write operation.

PER-4528

Workaround missing card serial number in minidriver 

When a card lacks a serial number, a card chip serial number can now be used as a part of the unique card identifier in minidriver.


There has been a change in default Windows configuration file regarding Firefox browser – see https://doc.nexusgroup.com/display/PUB/Firefox+interoperability+for+Personal+Desktop+Client for rationale. If you want to keep using Firefox with PKCS#11 interface instead of native OS integration on Windows, re-enable “P11_AlwaysLoggedInMode=1” in the configuration file for it. This is valid from Personal Desktop Client 5.8.3.

Limitations

  • With this version of Personal Desktop Client we support macOS versions 12.3 and 11.6. This means that macOS version 10 is no longer supported.
  • Support for the new Cosmo V7 and Cosmo V8.2 cards on macOS is limited to PKCS#11.
  • The browse dialog for soft token import does not work on macOS Catalina. Instead, manually enter the full path to the soft token and click Import. For more information, see Personal Desktop Client user's guide.
  • Windows 7 is supported only under extended contract. Contact Nexus for further information.
